Customer Reviews
Well written stories which are well read
Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories are lovely for Christmas Eve or any other time of the year. Without the gore and horror of many more recent tales, EF Benson’s stories are imaginative and scary, but still pleasurable. And Richard Crowest reads them clearly (in a pleasant but serious voice) so one understands every word.
Good stories, great voice
This deserves more attention
